@SpurgAnon boeing engineers when they discover flotsam:
> astronauts will die soon
They'd take the cost of a humiliating ride down in a Soyuz.
I've been thinking to fix this, they would need to let Starliner undock and go back to Earth unmanned.
I'm surprised they haven't ordered a backup vehicle to be sent to the pad yet.

Yeah, by now, they're fuckin' toast.

Imagine fulfilling your dream of going to space only to starve to death up there because the dumb niggers at NASA can't figure out how to do something we did on a fucking whim 50 years ago.
@pyrate pajeet and nigger feelings matter more than the lives of astronauts.
they've been sending DEI astronauts for a while now.
that's why the ISS sucks now.
A yenta had a meltdown that there wasn't gravity to use a normal toilet.

@pyrate @SpurgAnon Does someone have to be on it to undock it? Guess they have draw straws to see who will have to go down with that ship.
@EvilSandmich @SpurgAnon
No one has to be on it to undock.
However, the formality is the crew aboard the ISS is supposed to completely disembark with their craft. They are not stay on the ISS while their craft is sent back, and that is in case something happens.
They also have 3 or so weeks before another capsule is scheduled to dock. Boeing really screwed the pooch with this and they are currently footing the blown budget expenses.

@pyrate @SpurgAnon Ahh, I thought just the two Boeing people ere going back. I do like how they didn't just find a jeet woman, but an incredibly ugly one at that in order to make sure dicks stay limp in case the experiment went sideways (which it did).
@pyrate @SpurgAnon SpaceX apparently got a contract last week to study how to bring down extra astronauts in Dragon on short notice for no reason at all.

We literally cannot do nice things anymore. Expect technology to regress as the competency crisis expands to every sector.
This is one of Boeing's most important, flagship programs that had a ton of time and money invested into a single craft.
It is more complex because the issue is a helium leak that is used to pressurize the RCS thrusters. These are even needed to undock from the ISS which is probably why they have not attempted doing this yet.
I am starting to think starliner may be stuck there and will deorbit with the whole ISS in 2030.

@pyrate @Goalkeeper @HeliRides3000 @matty @Spingebill if so, I'll have to remember and use the tag line that Niggers killed the ISS

Also it is worth noting the ISS was already decaying because of other reasons. Orbit is not a perfect vacuum, many micro meteorites have it the station and intense UV is degrading the protective coatings.

We used to be able to learn from our actions and improve on them...
@pyrate @SpurgAnon This would be a great time for Russia to pull out of the station completely.
